Everything considered, we are very impressed with what the Arctic P253 BT Bluetooth Headset has to offer. In terms of build quality, the P253 BT doesn't offer anything particularly special but is perfectly acceptable given the price point.
We have been using our very similar old Arctic P311 for three years now and it's still in perfect working order with no physical damage at all – which bodes well for the P253 BT.
We were particularly impressed with the sound quality of the P253 BT which seems a lot better than the P311 when they are compared side by side. It offers punchier bass response, better overall sound quality and equally impressive battery life, lasting for over 14 consecutive hours in our tests.
One of the most handy features of the headset is the folding design which means that it is extremely compact during transportation and is unlikely to get damaged if you throw it in a sports bag with all your gear.
Without doubt the most impressive aspect of the P253 BTT is the price, though. It can be yours for the reasonable sum of £11.74 from Amazon UK, making it very affordable indeed. This makes it truly excellent value for money and is well worth the money.

KitGuru says: An decent product from Arctic which offers very impressive value for money.
I own these, and I’m glad to see that I’m not the only one who was pleasantly surprised by the sound quality. Much better than cheap drugstore headphones for sure, and even tolerable to people who own one or more high quality headphones, imho.
I have stuff like Sennheiser and Grado headphones (albeit the cheaper ones) and these don’t sound bad at all. Not as good as name brand audiophile headphones (even the cheap ones like HD202’s or 201’s), but much better than I expected considering the low, low price. They sound like good headphones, not cheap ones. Comfort is decent too.
